Welcome
ACCREDITATION - CURRENT STATUS
Santa Barbara City College's accreditation has been re-affirmed in January 2010.
Every six years we are undergoing re-affirmation of our accreditation by the Accrediting Commission of Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC), a branch of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Accreditation is a quality assurance process that gives us the opportunity to engage in institution-wide dialogue and self-evaluation activities in order to gain a comprehensive perspective of our college. The scope of accreditation is to promote quality and improvement. Being an accredited college is of critical importance. It is this status that allows us to provide federal financial aid to our students, receive federal funding, have the degrees that we grant to our students recognized as coming from an accredited institution and be able to articulate our courses with other colleges and universities.
